ABSTRACT
In Depth The .NET Framework supports two methods for creating Web services. You can use ASP.NET or .NET Remoting. While .NET Remoting is closer to more general distributed computing and remote procedure calling (RPC), ASP.NET is the mainstream approach for developing XML web services. In this chapter, I will focus on writing ASP.NET web services using Managed C++ and I’ll provide the necessary background information on ASP.NET. You will learn how to create, deploy, configure, and debug ASP.NET web services written in Managed C++. If you are totally unfamiliar with web services and related terminology, I recommend that you read the introduction to web services and the .NET Framework in Chapter 1.
